Well, car is on the correct mileage but it is staying steady at 13v . Getting a new battery under warranty tomorrow so will put that on and see. Jump started it this morning for the wife and it was ok at 3 when started again. Think I may change alternator anyway so it doesn't catch me out. Going to check power drain tomorrow night as it wasn't used over the weekend.
